How to Use Trade Codes for Evolution
1. **Prepare Your Pokémon:** Make sure you have the Pokémon that needs to evolve and that it is holding any required item listed above.
2. **Access Link Play:** From the main menu, select the Link Play option.
3. **Select Link Trade:** Choose Link Trade, then select the Faraway Players option.
4. **Enter Trade Code:** Input the trade code corresponding to the Pokémon you want to evolve.
Once you enter the trade code, the game will randomly link you to another player doing the same thing. When the trade completes, both players will receive the evolved form of their traded Pokémon.

Important Tips
– The biggest challenge with this method is that both players need to be actively using the same trade code simultaneously.
– To make this easier, consider joining community Discord servers or online forums dedicated to Pokémon Legends: Z-A where players organize trades.
